1. Best app overall: Partiful
Participation is the self-described “ultimate tool for creating, managing and sharing events.” You can use it to create engaging event pages and invitations as you would expect, but guests can use the app not only to respond, but also to add comments and photos from the event.

6. Best Hidden Gem: Timeleft
Time remaining seems interesting for people who are new to a city and want to build a group of friends, or who want to expand their social circle where they already live. Timeleft divides its users into weekly groups of six people who meet for dinner every Wednesday at 8 p.m. at a random restaurant. When you sign up, you complete a personality test, where the app promises to reserve you a table with people you think you’ll click with.
